Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Never knew this before getting engaged, but jaycees crisco, do you get asked about it. That story better be interesting! And remembered!
Ours totally doesn't qualify. Him: You think you wanna get married. Me: Ok, when? Him: I dunno. How long do you think it will take to plan? Me: So next spring then?
We are oh so romantic.
Aims - woo hoo! Congratulations!!
Congrats, Aims!!
My most recent friends to get married got "officially" engaged at BJ's Wholesale, because there was a ring she liked that was on sale.
Congrats, Aims!!!
Aims, that's wonderful!!!11
Hooray, Aims!
People just want a show.
I think the sticking point for me is that the public attention-getting stuff seems akin to heckling someone else's show. If I'm at a movie or a park or a restaurant or whatever, it's not because I'm hoping for a chance to put on my "politely interested" face while waiting to find out whether some strangers are getting married.
The Muppet thing was set up so the audience was all friends & family, so I've got no issue with that. But the ones engineered so the general public is forced to bear witness are barfy.
My teachers made a HUGE deal out of it. THey had me open a gift up in front of the kids ad it was a turtle charm for my bracelet! The kids all cheered and yelled "YAY MS. AIMEE!!"
And dude - the gifts I got today?? HOLY CRAP!

That's a good story! (You're telling it, aren't you?)
Other stories I find funny: a partner I worked for who casually asked his wife to marry him during a break in her cross-examination of the sexual practices of Andrew Crispo, S/M art dealer/accused murderer. The comedian who asked his wife to marry him while stopped at a stoplight. Both women were outraged.
Congrats, Aims!
